Being the new wave does not mean it is the right wave.

Theo with personal message to Jon Lester today with Chicago
media:
Cubs plan to compete for NL central title in 2015.
Good strategy.

Hopefully Gordon Wittenmyer isn't wrong about his claim that
Manny Ramirez is "going to work this offseason in South Florida
with rookie Javy Baez, who accepted the invitation after Ramirez
texted him."

Fantastic news if its for real. Baez could use a mentor, so to
speak. I LOVE this move.

Yeah, that does sound very positive that Manny will work with
Baez this offseason!
Theo's comments that "...we aren't going to sell out in '15..."
and "...we're not going to bail on young players..." makes next
season a bit clearer as does what he said re Baez for next
season.
Though I still have doubts Baez will compete effectively at the
MLB level next season and can understand why many astute
observers will remain skeptical of Theo/FO until their Plan
works with the Cub franchise, I certainly trust our FO
(particularly after contrasting the words and actions of this FO
with all our other FOs of the past 55 years).
GO Javy!

The thing I love about Baez is his drive to get better.
Everything you read about him says that about him. He wants to
be great.
